🚀 How to Run

Method 1: Using Launcher (Recommended)

cd c:\Users\idavi\Documents\Projects\testbuddy
python run.py

What this does:

  1. Checks all dependencies
  2. Verifies Tesseract installation
  3. Launches the app
  4. Shows helpful error messages if anything missing

Method 2: Direct Run

python app.py

Method 3: From IDE

  • Open app.py in VS Code
  • Press F5 to run with debugger
  • Or Ctrl+Shift+D → Python → Current file

🎯 First-Time User Workflow

  1. App Starts

    • Splash screen displays (900ms)
    • Home page appears

  2. Create Session

    • Enter: Name, Category (optional), Tags (optional)
    • Click OK

  3. Capture Screenshot

    • Click "📷 Capture"
    • Windows Snipping Tool opens
    • Draw rectangle around text
    • Copy to clipboard (Ctrl+C)

  4. OCR Processing

    • App detects clipboard image
    • Tesseract processes automatically (2-10 sec)
    • Text appears in right panel

  5. Edit & Save

    • Review/fix OCR result
    • Click "💾 Save"
    • Session persists to history

  6. Reload Anytime
